COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Mathematics and Statistics at Brock University offers two specialized streams—Mathematics and Statistics—each with a comprehensive selection of core and non-core graduate courses to support diverse research interests. In the Mathematics stream, students choose from List A core courses such as Groups, Rings, and Group Rings (MATH 5P10), Graph Theory (MATH 5P35), Algebraic Number Theory (MATH 5P50), and Matrix Groups and Linear Representations (MATH 5P66), and from List B options including Computational Methods (MATH 5P20), Dynamical Systems (MATH 5P30), Functional Analysis (MATH 5P40), and Partial Differential Equations (MATH 5P60). Non-core offerings broaden the scope with courses in Cryptography and Number Theory, Topology, Solitons, Ergodicity, Game Theory, and Financial Mathematics. The Statistics stream features core courses such as Sampling Theory (STAT 5P81), Linear Models (STAT 5P83), Time Series Analysis (STAT 5P84), and Multivariate Statistics (STAT 5P86), along with non-core courses including Computational Statistics (STAT 5P87), Bayesian Networks (STAT 5P89), and the Statistics Seminar (STAT 5P95). These specialized courses enable students to tailor their academic experience toward their research goals, preparing them for doctoral studies or careers requiring advanced mathematical or statistical expertise.
